Answer 1

1600 bananas

CP of one banana = 375/12 = 31.25p

CP of 1600 bananas = 31.25 x 1600 = Rs 500  ....(1)

Sells 900 bananas

SP of one banana = 100/2 = 50p

SP of 900 bananas= 900 x 50 = Rs.450

Sells 700 bananas

SP of one banana = 200/5 = 40p

SP 700 bananas = 700 x 40 = Rs.280

SP of 1600 bananas = 450 + 280 = Rs.730 ...............(20

Gain = 730 - 500 = Rs.230

Gain percent = 230/500  x 100 = 46%
